Yeah the glass thing seems pretty believable. It doesn’t change shite, someone tried to shoot at him and kill him

4:21 PM PT -- A source who has spoken with a member of the Secret Service tells TMZ, Trump was not hit by a bullet. Rather, a bullet hit his teleprompter and the GLASS struck him by the ear.


I didn't think Trump used a teleprompter for rallies...but if so it would have been in front of him. When he was struck he was turned toward his right, which put the left side of his face towards the front (where a teleprompter would have been). Any kind of monitor would have been behind him or to his right to have been able to have an angle toward his right ear if shattered. Until there is more confirmation of it being shattered glass, it looks to me like it was certainly a bullet, and if Trump had not happened to have been turned to his right, it would have been a kill shot.

It is a good photo. I was honestly waiting for the guy to pull a Teddy Roosevelt and just continue his speech.

Yeah, on the top back section, looks like a piece of glass. If it's determined to be a .22, I'm curious to see the physics on that kind of trajectory.

Out of all the things to speculate on about this event, the media speculates on it being glass instead of a bullet that hit him.

Except for the fact that you can see them still intact after he gets up.

Don't rationalize. It must have been an invisible 4th prompter behind him....

I’m not saying you wanted the gunman to succeed, but the way this is phrased it sounds a lot like you did.
That's because that's what you want to believe. I was just stating the obvious. Any one of us could hit a stationary target.

SS is saying glass from a prompter hit his ear? And immediate bystanders were hit? Odd story

Shots came from behind Trump, to his right. The 2 casualties in the bleachers were in the shooters line of sight. Milliseconds decided who lived and who died

Looking at the video of the person in the stands shot in the head and seeing the building in the background where the shooter was and the relation of that person that was shot in the head to the stage as well as the number of shots fired, it seems as if the shooter, once Trump was down, turned his aim to the crowd and intentionally shot at people in the stands. This makes it even more of a despicable and politically motivated action. This rhetoric casting Trump supporters as not worthy of respect is directly responsible for this and needs to stop.
